This and that....

Ahhh...it's been awhile since I posted again. I really have to try to do better. Our bridge is finally fixed and we can use it again. It did not take too long considering all.

Here are a few photos from the last week. First is Steven.... He has been into cowboys. Daddy got him some 'guns' and he has "Woody" pajamas. He also is trying to do a lasso in this photo. He will use the little wooden horse when he plays as well. He also likes to watch some of the old cowboy movies we have.

Since he is growning, I had to get him a new suit (he is 5 1/2 and the new suit is size 5....and the pants are too long!). He loves it because daddy has a brown suit coat and it matches.
Miss Melody....it was cold on Sunday (yesterday) and Melody choose to wear something warm.
Miss Emily....on Sat just before she went to a friend's birthday party. She recently got the jean jacket and loves it.

Emily just started her ballet classes last week. She found out that she jumped from B1 & B2 classes last year to C1 & C2 classes this year as the teacher thinks she is ready to be pushed. Most of the kids from her B2 class are in the C1 class as well. Emily totally skipped the B3 class. She was very excited. She also tried out the tap class and loved it. Here are her new tap shoes.

Here are some fun photos. Owen sitting in one of the big machines they used to fix the bridge.

The horse I see while I take my walk. I am trying to go for a mile walk at least 4 times a week (every day if I can).

Our neighbor changed the field next to our house into a cow pasture. Here is one of the cows with her calf.

Clarence update....someone asked how things were going with our adoption of Clarence. We know nothing. :( He will NOT be home before the end of the year and also chances are that he will not be home before he turns 4 in April. We are waiting on our number from Haiti and once we get that it will be at least 6 months before he arrives. The process is moving VERY slowly. It has been almost a year since our dossier was sent to Haiti. The time frame we were given at that point was 9 month-2 years. Hopefully it will be less than a year since we have almost hit that 1 year point.
